I agree with all of your points except nuclear reprocessing. It is overall worthwhile, but it is far from inherently safe. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyshtym_disaster, which was a level-6 incident, i.e. the third worst in history (probably actually the second). Granted, it was the Russians.
Exactly. Also, it happened in 1957, when nobody really knew a lot about how to reprocess properly--but unlike the Russians, everybody else recognized that and worked on getting it right.
